Citing concerns from community members, Pflugerville ISD is pulling out of plans to buy 149 acres on Weiss Lane, which district officials previously said was necessary to build a new high school to meet enrollment demands.

“We are re-evaluating our options after learning of the concerns expressed by respected members of our community,” Pflugerville Superintendent of Schools Charles Dupre said in a written statement.

Dupre also said while the site was an ideal location for what would have been the district’s fourth high school, “no land deal is worth damaging the trust between our district and the community we serve.”

Great Sanity Check

Cameron, I completely agree with you Weiss Ln does need to be improved, however the main issue was the City was almost forced to do this so quickly. I don't think the City would have minded if they had time to prepare and allocate funds. I really like the location, but I don't think being fiscally conservative should be thrown out the window when there are alternatives.

Not Happy

They need to make improvements to the cited roadways right now as it is. Might as well do it sooner than later as well as the fact the location for the future schools is ideal for the direction the city is expanding.
